At a recent city council meeting in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, Councilor Greg Jamison held up a copy of the League's Traffic Skills 101 booklet. He picked Michael Christensen out of the crowd and praised the local League Cycling Instructor for giving him new insight — "a huge educational process" — on the rights and concerns of bicyclists in his community.

It’s been more than six months since the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) updated its guidance for rumble stripes. While the original draft didn’t even mention bicyclists, the new guidance was helpful for addressing our needs.

When Sandra Lupien first moved to Sonoma County, it seemed like nobody rode a bicycle. In the rural/suburban community, the number of transportation cyclists was far smaller than the dense urban centers of nearby Oakland and San Francisco.
